poetry me, please: Metaphors & Real Rap

Rush The Mic presents poetry me, please: Metaphors & Real Rap

Hosted by our very own Young Prince & sounds by DJ COMPLETE on Saturday, October 18th at The Legendary SOB's (21+) please join us for the next installment of the PMP Poetry Series, where poetry and battle rap collide, celebrating the art of lyrical combat and the power of metaphor. Here at PMP, we pay homage to the world of battle rap, a space where language is weaponized, every word is a punchline, and metaphors become ammunition. In this showcase, poets step into the ring, drawing inspiration from the raw, unfiltered energy of battle rap while honoring its deep-rooted influence on self-expression and artistry. Through spoken word and storytelling, we’ll explore the cadence, wordplay, and resilience that battle rap embodies, showing that whether on the stage or in the streets, real rap is poetry in motion. Don’t miss this vibrant celebration of legacy, art, and community.

Tables are on a first-come, first-serve basis. *EARLY ARRIVAL IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED*

Two Drink Minimum Required - Remember to tip the bartenders!

Doors Open at 6:00 pm - Show Starts at 7:00pm
